David Mollitor updated AVRO-2860:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
So, I see that the project currently inherits from:

{code:xml}
 <parent>
    <groupId>org.apache</groupId>
    <artifactId>apache</artifactId>
    <version>23</version>
  </parent>
{code}

That's great.

However, there are quite a few places where the values from this parent POM are 
being overrided and I'm not quite sure why.  The Avro project should be pretty 
conservative here and be sticking as closely as possible to the parent POM in 
the same spirit that Avro is build with Java 1.8 (which is EOL).

I propose reverting some plugin versions so that the project more closely 
aligns with the POM and then the project need only stay in sync with the parent 
POM releases and not each plugin individually.

make Avro easier to consume for upstream projects that also inherit from the 
ASF Parent POM.  They shouldn't have to be doing anything special to allow for 
Avro overrided values.

I propose reverting some plugin versions so that the project more closely 
aligns with the POM.
